Toei Animation and IDW Games team up for Dragon Ball Z dice game

Dragon Ball Z has had a trading card game going for a while now, so a board game capitalizing on the highly popular series isn’t such a bad idea. Enter IDW Games, who have managed to partner with Toei Animation not for one game, but for a series of games based on the franchise. The line promises to have things like board games, tile-laying games, and dice games, with the first game being a dice game called Dragon Ball Z: Perfect Cell. In this game you will be choosing different DBZ characters to play as, then you will gather up your dice and roll them to charge your energy, unleash attacks, help your comrades, or get upgrades for your character. After each turn Cell will be attacking back, charging up his own energy, and even performing actions that will lock out powerful upgrades if the Z warriors don’t get to them first. Manage to defeat him and you win, or else all is lost and he destroys the world.

One thing of special note is that the designer of the game is Chris Bryan, best known for his involvement with the Board With life web series. The game is slated for release in March of 2018, and you can read more about it and IDW’s new partnership in this press release.

I'm an engineer manager by day, board game entusiast by night. I will play most anything once but I love adventure style games and cooperative games, or just playing games with my wife. Games like the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game, TIME Stories, and 7th Continent really hit on all those marks for me and I love discovering new gems.
